ABOUT ADVERTISING.
The High Character of the Newsp aper
Advertisements of To-day.

Advertisements of To-day.
An advertisement of the present day,
rs rule, is model of clearness, pre-
cision and compactness. In fact, quite
degree of pleasure can be derived
from the perusal of it. aside from the
important information which it often
times conveys.
In ingenuity the modern advertise
ment is remarkable; in fact, it is fire.
uuently a work of art. both in literary
and typographical sense. The aim of
some advertisers in many cases seems
to be to draw the attention of the
reader away from the fact that it is an
advertisement. While not taking
rank among what may be termed
literary productions, it possesses many
of their brightest features. In the
hands of a master workman, be he ad-
vertiser, writer or composition, the
matter becomes attractive to the most
casual reader. The latter's attention
is drawn toward it and his interest in
it aroused before he is fully aware of
the merely putting ones merchandise
has passed out of date. The reading
and purchasing public of to-day de-
mand something stronger and better.
That this want is recognized and ap-
preciated by the keen advertiser and
equally alert public is apparent to
almost every one. The fact is adver-
Using has become such an integral
part of modern business methods that
it is almost impossible to carry
on any kind of trade or traffic
without its aid. 1t is well known
that many concerns pay large
salaries to skilled writers whose only
employment is the invention and the
framing of attractive and telling ad-
vertisements.
Thousands of dollars are annually
expended simply in putting the mat
ter in shape, and many millions more
for its publication in the press. The
firm who can express in clear, strong
and concise language, set in attractive
form of display, just what it has to Of
fer, at once attracts the mercnanb as
we'll as the consumer.
No merchant can now wholly depend
for business upon the fact of his being
we'll known to the trade. No matter
how many yeaIs he may have been es-
iablished, or how familiar his name is
to the purchasing public, or how cele-
brated his wares are, if he does not
advertise and keep doing so in some
way, buyers and consumers will in
time ignore him and visit and trade
with his competitor who sounds his
trumpet upon all occasions to the exc
tent of thousands of dollars year.

STRANGE DISCOVERY.

Birds Immuring Their Prey Alive Ap-

While out hunting few days ago !

about four inches long by three and a
half inches in diameter. 1 picked ii
up and as did so it ratified as if ii
were hollow and had something inside

color. Wishing to see what was in
side to make it rattle, l broke it on
another stone, when to my astonish-
ment l found the skeleton of frog.
How it got inside of stone almost as
hard as flint remained mystery until
yesterday. While out looking after
my stock 1 noticed some birds that
looked like swallows. but larger, car
rying mud TO a cliff and depositing it
in holes that they had dug in the side
of the cliff. 1 went to the top
of the cliff and climbed down
to one of the holes, ex-

bugs and small animals, some not yet
dead. l watched the birds at their

and put in the ball; then one stays and
keeps the victim in, while the others
get mud and close the tomb, with the
victim alive.
There are thousands of holes in the
bank, and each one is the tomb of some
animal. Why they put the animals in
the balls is mystery, for after the mud
dries it is so hard that it requires con-
siderable force to break them. ST.

THE HUMAN JAW.

| Curious Statistics Gathered by an Eat
inS-House Fiend.
The noon-day customers were drop
ping out one by one from SAMSON
street restaurant, when Il dySpep;ic-
looking man who sat at the next table
startled me by saying: Have you any
idea how many miles a mans jaw will
travel in the course of his life. assum-
ing that he lives to be seventy years of
age?"
well, Inever thought of it." an
swered ayoung man, who halted in
his wild career of beefsteak. The
dyspeptic man changed his seat and
exposed much-soiled piece of paper
with some figures on it, which he pro-
ceeded to explain:
For the first ten years a child jaw
will go about 90 inches daily or 200 75O
inches altogether in decade. From
his 10th to his 20;h year, what with
chewing gum, food and tobacco, he will
work his jaw for, say, four hours day,
at an average of one-half of an inch per
minute; that would make in day 12O
inches, or in the ten years 43S 600
inches. During this time he will talk
about five hours day, traversing
about three-fourths of an inch minute
with his jaw; that would give in ten
years S22. 250 inches to be added to our
former figures.
For the next forty-fve years he will
spend sixty minutes day in eating.
when he will open his mouth one-half
an inch n minute and seven hours in
talking, when he will average FIVE
eighths of an inch; that is when you
figure it out 5,OOS, 625 inches.
1--WE now have our man sixty-fve
years old. For the last five years his
jaw takes a rest. He will eat no more
than thirty minutes day at one half
inch minute, or 27, 345 inches, and in
talking the distance travelled will not
amount to more than 3S8, 500 inches.
Now for the total. If we add the
various sums together we get 6.835. 40
inches, and dividing by 63. $50. the
number of inches in mile, you find

In a Land of Darkness.

New Guinea, probably the second
island in size in the world, is less
known to civilized man than any 9TH
er region of equal size. Until recent
ly even the principal features of the
coast had not been accurately deter
mined, and the interior still offers an
extensive field for exploration. Dur
ing the present year an expedition un-
der Mr.. Theodore Bevan has success
fully sought water route to the in
land mountains, discovering two mag
nificent rivers, with numerous tribu-
taries. The main streams were named
the Douglas and the Jubilee, and were
navigated for 130 and 10 miles. The
course led into country of superb
mountain scenery through fertile
lands in which sago, bananas, tobac-
co, bread-fruit and sugar-cane were
found TO be indigenous. The island
proved to be practically uninhabitod
except within few miles of the coast.

HINTS TO SLEEPERS.
The Time Approaching When All of Us
VIII Join the Chorus of SnOrers.

The Time Approaching When All of Us
Will Join the Chorus of SnOrers.
1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard of u snoring savage. In fact, if
the wild man of the woods and plains
does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk
of being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp of the snorer would soon
adorn the belt of his crafty and more
silent sleeping adversary. In the nat
ural state, then, natural selection"
weeds out those who disturb their
neighbors by making night hideous
with snores. With civilization, how
ever, we have changed all this. The
impure air of our sleeping rooms in
duces all manner of catarrhal affec-
tiOns. The nasal passages are the first
to become affected. Instead of warm
ing the inspired air on its way to the
lungs and removing from it the dam
gerOus impurities with which it is
loaded, the nose becomes Obstructed.
A part of the air enters and escapes by
way of the mouth. The vail of the
palate vibrates between the two cur
rents-that through the mouth and the
one still passing through the partially
closed nOstrils-like torn sail in the
wind. The snore, then, means that the
sleeper's mouth is partially open, that
his nose is partially closed, and that
his lungs are in danger from the air
not being properly warmed and puri-
fed. From the continual operation of
these cause.-the increase of impure
air in sleeping rooms and permitting
habitual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-some scientist has predicted
that in the future al men (and the
women. tool will snore. 1t goes along

The rooms are silent; the strange guests,
Who thronged but now, are gone;
The daughters cease; the music rests
Its rhythmic feet; alone

Athwart the easement squares,
And'an the shapes are wrapt in pail,
A gloom my faint heart shares;

Within my bosom laid.
The silent rooms are dreary space
Filled with ghostly throng,
But in the dimness is a face
That leaves me never long, q.
A haunting face-and sweet
Which no longer greet.
The empty rooms may throng again
With living guests, and oft
The laughter. ring-the music's strain
Break with It's murmurs SOFT
But what is voice and lutte
When one loved voice is mutei
They can not know my hidden bruise
Who their light homage pay;
They think me rude when I refuse
To sing my songs of May;
They can not know the deeps
From which my song note leaps.
Yet 1 shall join the throng and sing
Onmany gala day;
Shall sing my songs to sooth the sting,
But not the songs of May;
Then hear the night wind sigh,
And watch the embers die
